(verb) Used to translate "have a personality", though it's a bit unclear what that means, exactly. Perhaps it refers to some notion of unicity or individuality, or being interesting?
{loy'wI'} *might* mean "personality".
When Tilly says that she more than makes up for her athletic shortcomings with her intelligence and personality, the subtitles end in {jIval 'ej jIloy'.}
BURNHAM: "Personality doens't matter." {potlhbe' loy'wI'.}
TILLY: "That's just something people with no personality say." {roD 'oH jatlh loy'be'bogh nuv.}
TILLY: "Wait ... Which in no way means you! You absolutely have a personality!" {yIloS... SoH qaqelbe'bej. bIloy'qu' SoH.}
This may mean the same thing as the idiom *vaj Duj chIj*/have strength of character./
== weS ==
(verb) Used when describing the loss of a ship. However, it's unclear who the subject is: If it's the one losing the ship, or the one taking it away or destroying it. Seems more likely to be the former, but it's uncertain.
Used in Ep. 6 ("Lethe"):
"Starfleet can't afford to lose the Discovery." {DISqa'vI'rIy weS 'e' SIQlaHbe' 'ejyo'.}
English /lose/ means so many things, it's no wonder Klingons have different words for it. In this case, *weS* might be said to mean /be deprived of./ -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
